“The Conspiracy Journal” is a venerable publication that has gone unnoticed by a huge swathe of readers who most likely would enjoy receiving a free subscription, either of the print or online editions. The print edition, which is sent through the mail several times a year, is published by Timothy Green Beckley of Global Communications and covers a wide range of conspiracy-related topics, from the UFO cover-up to government mind control efforts to covert political intrigue of all kinds. The online chores are handled by Mr. Tim R. Swartz, who, in addition to being the author of “The Lost Journals of Nikola Tesla,” co-hosts his own weekly ipod show, “The Outer Edge.”

For the purposes of this article, we concern ourselves only with Beckley’s editorial expertise and his longtime preference for printed publications as opposed to the online “blogazine” types, which are just not his “cup of tea” – with or without the saucers!

But don’t despair that such a gem of “punk/alternative paranormal journalism” has gotten by you somehow. Beckley has recently released a collection of past articles from the magazine and has titled it – a no brainer – “Conspiracy Journal Reader: The Darkest, Deepest Secrets,” which features some of the best material published there by an impressive roster of writers. There are a total of 37 articles in the book, any one of which will fascinate those already predisposed to believe that something wicked is lurking around the next proverbial corner that has the intention of controlling and manipulating an unsuspecting populace. Those few who are still “unsuspecting” will quickly revise that thinking after reading “Conspiracy Journal Reader.”

COSMIC TOP SECRET

For example, writer William Hamilton III (author of “Cosmic Top Secret” and “Time Travel Now”) contributes an article called “Area 51 Breeding Tanks.” He begins by recounting a story told to him by abductee Christa Tilton, who claims that in 1987 she was taken by two small grey aliens to a hillside location, where she encountered a man dressed in a military-type jumpsuit. She was led through a series of computerized checkpoints and traveled on some kind of “transit vehicle” to an area where she was weighed and issued an identification card. At that point, she was told they had just entered Level One of a seven-level underground facility. After being moved to Level Five, she saw alien craft and greys as well as large tanks with computerized gauges.

Hamilton, of course, is just warming up. He also tells the tale of a man, given the pseudonym Thomas C., who was at one time a security officer in the facility and could no longer cope with the disturbing things he had seen there. He decided to leave his job and take some evidence with him. He took over 30 photos, collected documents and removed a security camera video tape that had recorded aliens and government personnel working side-by-side. He made five copies of everything and then concealed the originals.

Now it was time to flee and go into hiding. But when he went home to pick up his wife and son, he found a van and government agents waiting for him. His wife and son had already been kidnapped. A fellow worker named K. Lomas had alerted the authorities, and Thomas C. was now in even deeper trouble. The agents demanded the return of the evidence Thomas C. had collected in exchange for getting his wife and child back. When it became apparent that his family would be used in biological experiments and not returned unharmed, he decided to “get lost,” as Hamilton puts it.

After explaining some of Thomas C.’s background, which included several years working as a security officer for the Air Force and the Rand Corporation, Hamilton discusses more of what Thomas C. saw at the underground facility, located in Dulce, New Mexico. Thomas C. alleges that there were over 18,000 greys at Dulce, as well as reptilian humanoids there. A tube shuttle system connecting Dulce to Area 51 in Nevada and another facility in Page, Arizona, is also part of the package. Dulce’s Level Six is privately called “Nightmare Hall,” where genetic experiments are conducted on fish, seals, birds and mice, producing creatures that are vastly altered from their original forms. Even more chillingly, there are multi-armed and multi-legged humans and several cages and vats of humanoid, bat-like monstrosities, some as tall as seven feet, to be found on Level Six.

Things reached a climax for Thomas C. when he saw humans in cages on Level Seven, many of whom were dazed or drugged and crying out for help.

“We were told they were hopelessly insane,” Thomas C. said, “and involved in high-risk drug tests to cure insanity. We were told to never speak to them at all.”

DEEP INSIDE THE LAIR OF THE SERPENT RACE

Even as one shudders to think this story could be true, “Conspiracy Journal Reader” moves on to other equally bizarre subjects. I have an article of my own reprinted in the book about Zulu shaman Credo Mutwa, and my primary source was an interview from “Spectrum Magazine” conducted by Rick Martin.

The late Harvard psychiatrist, Dr. John Mack, in his book “Passport To The Cosmos” (1999), devoted a chapter to Credo and his lifelong encounters with friendly, guardian spirits who were quite unlike the greys and reptilians Credo would deal with later as an adult. Nevertheless, Credo would seem like an unlikely source for information on conspiracy theory, but the Zulu culture from which he sprang takes for granted the existence of reptilian aliens/shape-shifters, though the place where the reptilians originate is still unknown to them.

“It is said that these creatures feed on us human beings,” Credo said, “and that they at one time challenged God himself to war because they wanted full control of the universe. And God fought a terrible battle against them and He defeated them, injured them, and forced them to hide in cities underground. They hide in deep cavities underground because they are always feeling cold. In these cavities, we are told, there are huge fires which are kept going by slaves – human, zombie-like slaves.”

These defeated reptiles are not capable of eating solid food and must survive on human blood. They also “feed” on the power or energy that is generated by human warfare and violence and the terror such bloodshed induces.

“There ARE such creatures,” Credo said, “and the sooner skeptics among us face up to this fact, the better it shall be. Why is humankind not progressing? Why are we running around in a great circle of self-destruction and mutual destruction? People are basically good; I believe this. People don’t want to start wars. People don’t want to destroy the world in which they stay, but there are creatures, or there is power that is driving we human beings toward self-annihilation. And the sooner we recognize this, the better.”

Later in the interview with Rick Martin, Credo dropped quite a bombshell.

“Far too many people,” Credo said, “fall into the temptation of looking upon these ‘aliens’ as supernatural creatures. They are just solid creatures, sir. They are like us; and furthermore, I’m going to make a statement here which will come as a surprise: the Grey aliens, sir, are edible. Their flesh is protein, just as animal flesh on Earth is, but anyone who ingests Grey alien flesh comes very, very close to death. I nearly did.”

He next told the story of how the alien flesh came into his hands.

“You see,” he said, “in Lesotho there is a mountain called Laribe; it is called Crying Stone Mountain. On several occasions, in the last 50 years or so, alien craft have crashed against this mountain. One such incident was reported in the newspapers not so long ago. An African who believes that these creatures are gods, when they find the corpse of a dead Grey alien, they take it, put in a bag, and drag it into the bush, where they dismember it and ritually eat it. But some of them die as a result of ingesting the thing.”

Credo said that a friend of his from Lesotho gave him the flesh from what the friend called a “sky god.”

“I was skeptical,” Credo said. “He gave me a small lump of grey, rather dry stuff which, he said, was the flesh. And he and I and his wife ritually ate this thing one night.”

Credo did not in fact die from sharing this otherworldly dinner, but it is not possible to tell the rest of the story in the space available here. Those who wish a crash course in what Credo believes and in reptilian aliens in general should be steered in the direction of a book by Commander X and Branton. “Reality of the Serpent Race and the Subterranean Origin of UFOs” reveals more from the fertile mind of the Zulu shaman, who is now well into his eighties and has been confronting the reptilian “menace” for as long as he can remember.

Not surprisingly, Credo confirmed one of the pet theories of his mentor David Icke, namely that many global leaders are really shape-shifting reptilians – people like Queen Elizabeth, George Bush, Bill Clinton and many other elite rulers who have long been associated with the bloodline of the Illuminati, a secret society said to be in charge of political and economic matters worldwide. When pressed for more information, Credo seemed uneasy, as if there might be serious, dangerous consequences for talking about such things.

Thank you, Yves and Vlade. Super, as always.
The examples of Botswana and, from Vlade, the UK are very appropriate.
Botswana has always had a more forward looking government than its neighbours.
A couple of years ago, Zim tried to emulate the Botswana example with regard to its (smaller scale) diamond production for political, not economic reasons, but that did not get anywhere due to (the Mugabe government) corruption and incompetence.
It's not just diamonds, but other commodities, vide oil and sugar. How come Mauritian sugar estates, expanding into east and west Africa now, set up refineries and moved up the value chain (vide Omnicane's confectionery business in the UK and power plants in east Africa) once ACP / Lome agreements with the EU expired, but firms in east Africa and Ivory Coast can't or won't, or did not until Mauritian investors came aboard? One would think the well educated leaders in Ivory Coast and Benin would understand that, but they seem unable to shake off neo-liberalism and local "issues", including cultural.
With regard to SA, the ANC leadership had probably spent too long in the west and were easily swayed by the youthful snake oil salesmen like Blair and Clinton. It was not just economic policy, but SA giving up nuclear weapons. The likes of Cyril Ramaphosa and Tokyo Sexwale had also seen how to get rich quick.
Whisper it softly, but the National Party's economic policy was more left wing and nationalist than the ANC's. Perhaps, this policy of nationalism and socialism was born out of isolation from the 1950s and even the National Party's influence from Nazi Germany. The ANC threw the baby out with the bath water. Even in the early 1990s, the ANC's policy never made sense for a new nation or one that had to be rebuilt, as pointed out by "verligte" (enlightened) Afrikaner academics. I spent a lot of time in SA in the 1990s. Dad worked on UK development programmes in SA, Lesotho and Swaziland in 1991 - 2.
It's interesting that apartheid South Africa's political and business / development allies, Israel and Taiwan, built up their economies behind tariff walls at the same time. It worked for Israel and Taiwan.
If readers want to know more, Patrick Bond's articles in Counterpunch are good.
With regard to the UK, the arrival of middle class and / or industrial elements into politics from the 1830s and the need for cheap food to feed industrial / urban workers led to the splits over free trade (the equivalent of the EU debate in 19th century Britain). At first, it was agricultural tariffs, but that extended to industrial tariffs, with disastrous consequences for British industry.
Bolivia will soon take its claim to what is now northern Chile to the International Court of Justice. Details of the claim lay bare the extent of British investment (e.g. Antofagasta and Vestey) and interference in Latin America (Bolivia and Paraguay). Lloyd's Bank was to Latin America what HSBC and Standard Chartered are to Asia. Much of the cheap manufacturing from abroad that began to destroy the UK's industrial base in the 19th century was either British owned or funded by British investors in partnership with locals, so just like the maquiladoras in Mexico. The comprador class existed then, too.

When Mojela Masupha was a site administrator for two rural health clinics in Lesotho, he needed a way to travel over steep mountain trails and rugged terrain.

It wasn’t easy to meet village leaders, collect blood samples, carry medical supplies, and more, in some of the most remote areas of Lesotho, a high-altitude nation surrounded by South Africa. Cars weren’t feasible. Neither was walking the long distances between villages, or flying frequently by small plane or helicopter.

So, Partners In Health trained Masupha to ride off-road motorcycles—and a new passion was born.

“It was my first time riding a bike on my own, and it was a dream come true,” Masupha recalled. “It has since become a lifelong habit—so much so that in my spare time, I teach people how to ride with discipline.”

Masupha, 36, now works in the Maseru office as a human resources coordinator for Bo-mphato Litsebeletsong tsa Bophelo, as PIH is known locally. Along with his supervisor, Human Resources Manager Tholoana Mohapi, he is one of the longest-serving members of PIH’s team in Lesotho. Masupha was hired in 2008, about a year after PIH began supporting Lesotho’s Ministry of Health.

Mohapi said Masupha’s personality makes him a natural fit for human resources.

“He is passionate about the work we do, and once he is convinced about any new intervention or strategy, he runs with it, with strong commitment,” Mohapi said. “He’s a people person. He interacts with people with ease and is able to disseminate needful information to staff and other partners skillfully.”

Masupha began his PIH service at the mountain clinics, spending two years at Nkau and a year at Nohana before joining the Maseru staff in 2011. Getting around in Maseru, Lesotho’s capital, is a little easier than it was in the mountains. But Masupha still has a bike parked outside the office, and another one at home.

He especially enjoys riding with his two sons, ages 5 and 12.

“I ride my bike almost every day to work and my youngest son is thrilled by bikes,” Masupha said. “I take him on short rides. My older son has just recently shown interest, after I took him for a good rough-terrain ride.”

Mohapi has worked with Masupha since he joined PIH. She said he gained far more than motorcycle experience during his time in the mountains.

“That was where his leadership skills were groomed,” Mohapi said. “He proved himself to be an excellent, remarkable leader.”

Masupha also honed valuable skills in handling finances, supplies, transportation, scheduling and hiring, while supporting staff and community outreach.

And he gained some memorable stories.

Like when PIH staff in Maseru asked Masupha to travel to a remote village, about four hours from the Nohana clinic by horseback, to get a letter from the village’s leader. When presented to government officials in Maseru, the letter would enable a sick patient from the village to get a passport and cross the border into South Africa for specialized treatment.

Co-workers who knew the area told Masupha that no one had ever reached the village by vehicle, including motorcycles. Nonetheless, he decided to ride his Honda.

The ride back turned out to be the problem.

After reaching the village and getting the necessary papers for the patient, Masupha was returning to Nohana when the bike got stuck between boulders in a small stream at the bottom of a ravine, known as a “donga.”

“I wrestled the bike with no luck, until I was sweating profusely,” Masupha recalled. “I had to climb out of the donga on foot and seek help.”

Fortunately, some boys tending herds nearby agreed to lend a hand, and with much effort—and a few falls into the stream—they all were able to push the bike out of the ravine.

“When I got back to the clinic, many were in awe that I made it,” Masupha said. “But in my head, I was just remembering that at PIH, we have a saying: We do ‘whatever it takes’ to see someone get the medical attention they need.”

Masupha said he thinks about that trip sometimes, when he’s riding along the paved roads of Maseru. It makes him think of how far PIH has come with supporting health care for all, over the years.

Masupha has come far, himself. He was born in Maseru but his family is from Berea District, just to the north. He said he “grew up in a hospital setting,” as his mother was a nurse and he volunteered during high school at Queen Elizabeth II Hospital in Maseru.

Masupha said when he saw the opportunity to join PIH, he jumped at it.

“I thought, ‘This is what I’ve wanted to do for a long time,’” he said. “Even if I’m not a doctor, at least I could touch sick people somehow, and help them. It really satisfies me when I see a patient who is happy, who is healed, and know I had a stake in that.”
